Very Good Weather App

by
SeekerJones

AccuWeather is highly customizable. Multiple locations, radar & satellite views, forecast setting 1day up 25days, and the order of home screen sections can be manually customized.

The hilarity of folks balking at things like the accuracy of the hourly forecast not being "accurate to the minute and exact location" - REALLY? Presumptuous much? - expecting that minutia of weather forecasting, is a bit absurd.

It's a weather app, a very good weather app that gives me all the data I need to make decisions - looks like there's 50% chance of showers between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, better make sure the umbrella is in my golf bag, possible snow and freezing temps forecast next week in Cleveland during the conference better pack the parka. It's a weather app and tells you what you need to know to make smart decisions. What else do you need.

>>>Probably the Best Weather App (Mar2016)Is a very good app that is continually being refined by the developers.

>>>Hourly Wind Compass not Automatic (Jan2015)There will be a few that will post that the Directional Wind Compass for hourly forecast has been removed or isn't there, but its is, user must tap in area and swipe up for it to appear. The default should be "ALWAYS" visible.

Ok but has suffered since the update

I use this alone with other weather apps from places like weather underground to get a detailed picture. This is easier to get essential information but very lacking in technical data thdy WU provides like aviation weather or detailed data on current conditions or forecasts.

I loved this app's iOS 10 widget, however with the latest update, when the time of day changes into another forecast range (e.g. Day into evening for example) the widget leaves the previous font active so it shows font on top of font. Totally unusable now. It would have gotten more stars from me if it wasn't for this. It needs to be fixed. (A reboot or remove the widget fixes the issue until 12 hrs later and font on top of font is back again).

One of the best looking weather apps

by

This is probably one of the best looking weather apps that you can have on your phone.

It has a beautiful layout, and it's sections can be ordered to your preferences.

The bad thing is that the daily forecast summary is pretty sparse. Some might think that this is a good thing. But it can be off. For example tomorrow's forecast calls for "Mostly cloudy with a shower." Problem is that according to all of the local TV news forecasts, what is really going to happen is "Passing cold front in the morning, bringing a chance of light sprinkles and or snow flurries in the early morning to late morning. Clearing in the afternoon."

Also ever since ios10, where they enhanced their lock screen widget, the widget temperature can be Illegible. Informed accuweather about this weeks ago and it's still not fixed.

So if you want a really good looking weather app, this is it. In terms of actually forecasting the weather, the summaries are a bit too sparse. In terms of general quality, it's below average, because the widget problem should have been caught in development - it's that obvious if you use it for a while.
